33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.
34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of our fathers.
35 And whereas thou demandest Joppa and Gezer, albeit they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we give an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Atheno´bius answered him not a word;
36 but returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.
37 In the mean time fled Tryphon by ship unto Ortho´sias.
38 Then the king made Cendebe´us captain of the sea coast, and gave him an host of footmen and horsemen,
39 and commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Gede´rah, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.
